What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Paranoia

It starts with a secret, forged from desire,
Cooled, hardened, and made solid
Inside the ear of another.
Looking up, I glance over my shoulder.
No one’s there.
Perhaps it was just the wind.

Now solidified, that forged tool
Is buried deep within,
If only so that it cannot be used
Against me.

But still it is wielded
By an otherworldly being,
Something more than human.
I look over my shoulder.
No one’s there.
Is this some sort of trick?

I see them
Speaking softly,
Laughing, whispering, talking –
Are they laughing at me? Joking about me?
Slandering me?
Stabbing at me with wild abandon,
That weapon holds great power.

I gaze over my shoulder.
There it is!
The horror, the horror!
Surely I’m done for!
For there, holding that weapon,
Are all my fears.
